I am sure many fellow homosexuals wished she had simply shut up. And many may be kicking themselves for allowing the MSM to pick up on this juicy quote. Of course it says nothing new. Those of us who are not reliant on a censorious MSM know full well that many, if not most, homosexuals are not even interested in marriage.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, there has been a longstanding debate amongst homosexuals over the question of homosexual marriage.

If someone wants to get married or doesn\u2019t want to get married, it\u2019s their choice.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n<p>One Australian homosexual lobby group has actually split over this issue.
